should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

i'm talking about this kind of behaviour

anonymous trolling sucks the energy out of projects

giving trolls the power of anonymity?

I've mentioned that to reggie before, I don't know if they are willing to do something about it though.. :s

But yeah, whoever is tag trolling should really stop as it really isn't funny anymore..

EDIT: Look in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=71246

EDIT2: I think it would be nice to have a "Report Tags" at the bottom (where the tagging area is at)..

i'm all for freedom of speech, but a system that's not fair that gives a**holes an anonymous trolling 'advantage' just because they've contributed 300 comments of txt speech needs to be changed. either remove tags completely, or as you suggested, a 'report tag' feature, or the best solution a link on the tag that shows you who posted it.

Those people aren't anonymous. The forum mods/admins know who left what tag at all times.

Now, I think honestly, and this is a bit of a stretch... that this might be misconstrued as a limit of the freedom of speech. And that's a slippery slope.

Not that I agree with the tag usage nor the perceived anonymity; however it's not anonymous at all. The mods/admins have allowed it to continue because they can be removed if found offensive and/or reported.

Just get rid of them. It's so spammed out, the tag cloud is wothless

bag it tag it

i would hope the forum admins have more access than the rest of us. however tag trolls cause bad feeling amongst the other 99.9999999999% of the community because they are anonymous to everyone other than a moderator. let them have free speech in tags if that's the way they need to express themselves, just let the rest of us know who's doing the talking just like in normal forum posts.

i'm no longer contributing to getting gnash working as a protest.

I think it should be best if only I could add tags.

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I generally don't read the tags. That seems pretty effective.

I've never felt the need yet to tag a thread.
Whilst some here (as in any environment) will bemoan the loss of their "right to free speech", some of the junk being put on tags makes me wonder if the mods appreciate that "moderating" should include all user contributed content, not just the stuff posted by our usual array of in-house trolls......
